KTM's 2025 1390 Super Duke GT is bringing a fresh wave of innovation to the sport-touring scene. This powerhouse combines KTM’s signature performance with advanced touring features, making it perfect for riders who want top-tier sport performance with long-distance comfort. Here’s a look at what this model has to offer.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 Super Duke GT has been upgraded with KTM's latest LC8 V-twin engine, now at an impressive 1350cc displacement. This increase means a significant boost in power and torque, giving riders the high-speed thrill KTM fans expect. But KTM has refined this engine to offer smooth, controlled power delivery as well—ideal for everything from city rides to long touring adventures.
Chassis and Handling
Engineered for agility and stability, the 1390 Super Duke GT’s chassis has improved torsional stiffness and a lower center of gravity. This setup gives riders more precise control and better balance, even in tight corners or unpredictable conditions. Complementing this is the WP APEX Semi-Active Technology (SAT) suspension, which adapts on the fly to changing road surfaces, creating a smoother ride without sacrificing agility.
Design and Ergonomics
KTM has taken the design up a notch with an aggressive, streamlined headlight and integrated turn signals in a simplified brake light. The bold lines of the bike give it a sharp, modern appearance, reflecting KTM’s dedication to form as well as function. The seating and ergonomics have been crafted with comfort in mind, making this bike a prime choice for long-distance riders who want both sporty aesthetics and practical comfort.
Advanced Technology
The 2025 model does not hold back on tech. Multiple ride modes, cutting-edge traction control, and an advanced infotainment system come standard, putting control right at the rider’s fingertips. A newly positioned ram air intake, redesigned airbox, and wider radiator all work together to increase power output and efficiency. The result is a bike that feels powerful and responsive in any environment.
